The Doris ana Coivin Circus.

Last night the tents of the Doris Il
Colvin circus were crowded to their
utmost, capacity Many thousands
had assembled to see tho great shows.
The circus is surprisingly good, and
pleased the pcople hey ond expectation.
The show when IL came was compar-
atively unknown, having never shown
here before, and Cincinnati with her
critical audiences SHE'D for while
and fought against being captured.
But Cincinnati will always recognize
merit whenever and wherever it is
found, and last night she proved this
by the manner in which the people
ilocked to the show. The people dis
covered that it was away above the
average and 1lrst-class IN every res
pect. The performance last night was
such as to please the most rigid OF
conventional circus ick"rs, and the
hippohrome and Wild West depart
menls were surprisingly good. The
show has rncd, and dcscrvcdly. II

High School room. A small admission
fee will be charged, the proceeds for
the benefit OF the school. Now the

your presence will encourage them
greatly, while your absence will be
doing them an injustice, for if they
see that you take no interest in their
progress, they, too, will soon be neg
lectful.

The departmental heads of the
Grand Trunk Company appear to
have adopted the ideas of the late w.
H. Vanderbilt who consigned the pub
lie to a warmer country than this, and
a practical illustration of the working
of these doctrines was given at the sta
ton here last Tuesday. 1t has been
the custom for brakemen to uncoupe
the hose that connects the air brakes
on passenger trains, but on the new
summer time table, over the sig
nature of Mr.. dickson, is inserted a
special rule making it the duty of car
repairers at terminal stations to do
that work. Mr.. Wallis, Superintend-
ent of the Mechanical Department for
bade car repairers doing so, and Mr..
Stephenson of the Traffic Department
forbade brakemen. The result was a
deadlock at Island Pond and Gorham
the day express standing at both
places with engines attached. Mr.
Hay, District Superintendent, issued
temporary orders for station men tc
uncouple and the trains went on after
a delay which is very deplorable tc

We announced last week that a
Woman's Relief Corps had been insti-
tuted here, but could give no other
information beyond publishing the
list of officers elected. This week we
! can speak more advisedly as to the
| object sought to be attained by such
an organization. The object of the
Woman's Relief Corps is to help the
Grand Army of the Republic to fulfil
their obligations to the sick and uufor-
tunate comrades, the widows and
orphans, of the late war. Vermont,
according to its pulation, was not
| behind any other state in the number
of its loyal sons who went to the front
and freely offered their lives for our
country. They numbered ut least one
for every ten of it's entire population
and, realizing that quarter of q
century has passed since they were
engaged in that great struggle, who
| by their brave deeds, saved this great
nation from dissolution; that, with
the advancing years, the serious effect
of their hazardous and patriotic SER
vice is being felt; and to enable the
| Grand Army to care for all who need
aid, the Woman's Relief Corps was
formed. 1t is not an Independent
order, but an auxiliary to the Grand
Army of the Republic, and an order
that shall continue until the last of
those brave boys, who foughtso nobly
for the flag, shall have laid down to
rest in
/ THAT low, green tent
Whose curtain never outward swings. p
All posts, not having an auxiliary
should therefore organize one as soon
as possible.
Some ladies may think that in order
to become member it is necessary
to be II soldiers wife or daughter
This is not true. Article " of the
Rules and Regulations reads as follows:
"Women of good moral character anc

ties in which they live, who have no
